The default installation process is for Mandriva. But on any posix based
system it is possible to install ERP5 from source
( http://www.erp5.org/DownloadSourceCode ). The best way to try out ERP5
is to subscribe to TioLive as suggested on wiki frontpage:

Please keep in mind that as in all open source work unrelated people are
working around same project. Sites on raskon.org are not related to
erp5.org, so those statements may (and in this case they are) differ.

This knowledge is mostly based on Zope architecture. As in any flexible
and big project there is some time needed to feel good with all
interrelations. Some patience might be required...
